[In light of Dr McCoy's recent how to be a human download, Drift's decided that as someone who has survived--barely--the experience himself, he could offer some advice of his own. Slightly less snark-flavored.]

Right. So.

Er.

[CONFESSION TIME.]

I, uh, I spent some time as a human. Before. And so, well.

[A shrug. Get to the point, Drift.]

You have to chew this 'food' stuff. [Trust him on this.]

Canned peaches are good but you should only eat them with an expert. Utensils will take, uh, lots of practice.

Pants are....horrible. So are skirts.

[Don't get him started on hats.]

Hope your clothing has pockets. These things, trust me, don't have onboard storage. [DON'T ASK.]

Shoes feel weird--you can't feel the ground, really. But you should probably wear them. Especially in the Junk Pile.

[Let's all give Vandal a vote for sainthood for having put up with Drift and these valuable lessons.]

[There is a meow from the other end of the line. Along with a view of a black and white cat. The Link eventually translates things.]

You too? That sucks.

[Barricade only wishes he could wear pants to complain about them.]

....I got better.

...


Barricade?

[namesnotprowl]

Prrt.

Yes.

[He sits up and tips his head at the screen. Are you surprised? Because he sure was.]

[sword_redemption]

That's....new.

[A-at least Skids won't be after you now?]

You okay? Safe? Uh...need anything? [Not that Drift has a clue what cats need.]

Hands would be nice.

I miss thumbs.

[Having to depend on someone having a can of food and a can opener is slightly terrifying.
Though he can't really complain, he is the most adorable thing and people like cute animals.]

....thumbs?

[He'll look down at his. Yeah, they are sort of handy.]

But, I mean, it'll all be fixed, right? Like last time? What happened to me?

[namesnotprowl]

They're easy to overlook until you don't have them.

[This is the one lesson that he has learned. Also that Alpha Trion has the coolest cat room ever.]

I hope so. This isn't so bad but I can't work like this.

[sword_redemption]

I guess so.

I don't think that matters right now. What matters is that you're safe, until we can figure out what's going on.

[namesnotprowl]

Safe, yes. At least we both got away from Skids.

[At least, safe unless he escapes and jumps on Bumblebee's head...]

[sword_redemption]

That was...I just wish it didn't go down like that.

[Like...any of it.]

So, you have like...cat energon?

video;

[namesnotprowl]

Things like that happen, sometimes.

[He is just thankful he was not mauled and isn't dead.]

Cats eat food like humans. Just a different variety. I've mostly been staying at Alpha Trion's temple so the food isn't... so much of a problem.

[sword_redemption]

Oh. Well. So you have things you need, huh?

video;

[namesnotprowl]

I do. He has a cat room, did you know? Full of felines. And there's scratching posts and ramps.

[He is the happiest Cybertronian cat ever.]
